I sell the dead ( 2008) - glenn mcquaid








I Sell The Dead is a black comedy about two grave robbers, one of whom, Willie Grimes (Larry Fessender) is guillotined at the start of the movie. The other, Arthur Blake (Dominic Monaghan) is visited in his cell by a priest, Father Duffy (Ron Perlman), and recounts his life of crime to him.
The trouble is, the film is not at all scary, even though it features vampires, zombies and killings. It is also not funny, and l couldn't relate to either of the main characters, although Ron Perlman was his usual excellent self.
Pretty rubbish really, another hour and a half of my life wasted. Lucky l am off work at the moment.
